- 1. Ensure that you have both a version of Visual Studio 2012 with C++
- support and Qt Developer Framework (4.7 or later, but prior to 5.0)
- installed on your system.
+ Heimdall and Heimdall Frontend both utilise the CMake for managing the build
+ process. CMake can generate files for various build systems including GNU
+ Make and Visual Studio. However, official packages are compiled with GNU
+ Make and MinGW-W64 Clang.
- A free version (Visual C++ 2012 Express) can be downloaded from
- Microsoft's website:
+ NOTE: Official builds use MinGW-W64 simply because on-going cross-platform
+ development is simpler when using just the one IDE (Jetbrain's CLion)
+ and compiler (Clang) on all platforms.
- http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/visual-studio-express-products
+ 1. Setup a MinGW-W64 build environment by utilising MSYS2:
- Qt can also be downloaded freely from:
+ http://msys2.github.io/
- http://qt-project.org/downloads
+ 2. After installing MSYS2 a command prompt will launch, enter:
- 2. Open msvc2012.sln
+ Pacman -Syu
+ Pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64 mingw-w64-x86_64-clang mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-make
- 3. From the Solutions Configuration drop-down change from "Debug" to
- "Release".
+ 3. Add the MinGW-W64 binaries to your PATH environment variable:
- 4. In the Solution Explorer right-click on the heimdall-frontend project
- and chose "Build".
+ export PATH="/mingw64/bin:$PATH"
- 5. Depending on how you've installed Qt on your system you may need to copy
- "QtCore4.dll, "QtGui4.dll" and "QtXml4.dll" from your Qt bin/
- sub-directory to Heimdall's Win32/Release sub-directory.
-
- 6. Heimdall Frontend can then be run from Win32/Release or command line can
- be used to run Heimdall (command line) from the same directory.
+ 4. Build Heimdall & Heimdall Frontend
+ mkdir build
+ cd build
+ export cxx=clang++
+ cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
+ make
